Chelsea vs Leeds – Premier League Betting Tips

Leeds United takes a trip to the recently shaky European Champions, Chelsea. Chelsea has been in fine form, but their recent two matches in the EPL have shown some concerns over their performances, especially the first team keeper Mendy. 

Leeds United seems to have shaken off their bad form, which has plagued them since the season’s start. In their last 5 matches, they have drawn 3, won 1, and lost 1. Though their performances over recent games are promising, they are currently in 15th position at the EPL table with only 16 points. 

Chelsea lost the 1st position they have occupied for a while to Manchester City and are now third after losing 3-2 to West Ham in their last game. Chelsea’s fine form has dimmed over their 5 EPL games which have seen them drawn twice, won twice, and lost once. Below are our tips for this game. 

Chelsea Form and Team News

As mentioned above, Chelsea has been out of form lately by their standards. The Chelsea defense seems to have lost their touch and shipped in 8 goals in their last 4 matches. Although two of their last 5 games in the EPL were against strong opposition, they had worrying displays in their match against Burnley and Watford. 

Chelsea currently sits 3rd at the table and 2 points away from regaining the top position. 

For the team news, Chelsea has some crucial names that are out due to injury, and they are  Chalobah T (Thigh Injury), Chilwell B (Knee Injury), Jorginho (Injury), Kante N (Knee Injury), and Kovacic M (Illness). 

Leeds United Form and Team News

Leeds United started the season in a worrying fashion by their standards, but their displays have shown a massive improvement over their last recent matches. They have drawn 3, lost 1, and won 1 in their last 5 EPL games.  

They have managed to score in 4 of their last 5 matches and have been more defensively robust as they have just conceded 3 goals in their last 5 EPL games. 

Last weekend, Leeds United welcomed back their main striker Bamford, and he scored the equalizing goal. For the team news, they only have Koch R. out with injury as the face Chelsea this weekend.

Our Tipsters Angle

Manchester City has a habit of blistering teams in the EPL away, which might occur in this match. However, Wolves have been keeping their opponents out a lot this season, and it took a last-minute goal by Origi to win it for Liverpool last weekend against Wolves.

Also, it is interesting to know that in their last 5 matches in all competitions, wolves have won 3, and Man City has won just 2. Below are our tips for this game.

Tip 1: Chelsea to Win

Even though Chelsea are showing worrying signs going into this fixture, they still have it in them to win this match comfortably. With almost all Chelsea attacks returned from injury and fit to play, Thomas Tuchel is spoilt for choice and would likely try out different players to break down the Leeds United backline.

Even though Leeds has an excellent defensive record in their last five matches in the EPL, they should find a determined Chelsea too much to handle. Chelsea to win is available at the Casumo sportsbook, and it is placed at 1.30 odds.  

Tip 2: Over 9.5 Corners

One thing has been consistent in Chelsea games, and it doesn’t matter if they lose or draw, and that is corner kicks. Chelsea has averaged Over 9 corner kicks in 80% of their games in EPL this season, and we think we should expect a similar outcome for this match. 

Also, Leeds United has won many corners this season, and this is due to how they attack. Casumo Sportsbook has an Over 9.5 goals market, and it has an odd of 1.47.

Conclusion

This fascinating match would see Chelsea try to win Leeds United when they look like slowing down to boost confidence. This match has a bit of crazy history surrounding it, and we should expect a fascinating game of football.   

We think that Chelsea will win this match, and there will be over 9 corners in the game due to their recent form, team news, and past performances.
